Logia Found in 1956

 

Logia, according to the Google machine, is a word borrowed from Latin and Ancient Greek.  It it implies communications of divine origin. Maybe it originated from the abyss, or deities, gods, monsters, aliens...who knows, but logia is communicated to someone from something.  Curious, indeed.

According to an article included in the Cedar Rapids, Iowa The Gazette, dated October 9, 1956, the Nag Hammadi library is known as "Logia."  Or even more acutely, the "Sayings of Jesus."  The article returns to an early hero of the NHL saga, Professor Henri Puech, and his identification of a"Fifth Gospel of Jesus."  The Gospel is of course the Gospel of Thomas...and Puech mentions the famous opening line of said Gospel, "These hidden words which Jesus the Living spoke..."  

The article further mentions that this unique set of Logia is linked to the previously discovered Logia at Oxyrhynchus, circa 1897.  

The article further mentions that that when Puech's announcement was made, the New York Roman Catholic church stated that they "would not be accepted by the Catholic church as "divine writings."
